Neighbors tractor has an 10" slice in the rear tire. The slice goes trough the cross cleat but not very deep into the meat of the tire. The cords are not showing and it is not leaking any. Is there anythig that we can seal it with that will keep it from getting worse.
(I've looked through the old posts, but wans't sure if there are any new products/ideas out there)
Thanks for any input!
 
you might try what we used to call vulcanizing,simply melting it back with a hot iron.There used to be tools for this but i havent seen one in years.You might have to jack up tire and let air out if cut is spread open,that should let it go back together. If its got fluid make sure valve stem is on top before you let air out.What we always did was to spread cut with a screwdriver coat inside good with rubber glue ,and then seal out side with a hot iron.Since its across a lug you'll very likely rip part of the lug off eventually, thats kind of a bad spot to try to patch.I have one with a long cut in rubber of sidewall.If i can remember to stop and get rubber glue ,this is what i'm going to do with it.
 
I had one like that on my JD H. Cut through the lug and finally opened up to where you could see the cord. Cord was not cut. Local dealer ground off the old lg and molded/vulcanized in a new one. This was 12 years ago and it's still holding good. I would have to point it out for you to find it. Cost then was about $50, but I dismounted and remounted the tire. He didn't have a mold for that small tire but I made one for him out of some scrap iron, not too hard to do. I tried various rubber cements/glues but they didn't work.
 
That is the name of the company. It is one of the biggest supply places for things like tire patches etc. Tech International Johnstown Ohio 43031 as per the label off the can of that tire stuff
